    On Thursday we celebrate the Feast of St. Isaac Jogues and the North American Martyrs. Are the propers for this feast readily available? Many thanks!

    The graduale lists Ss. Cosmas & Damian, Martyrs as the feast for Sep. 26. I guess that would mean you'd use the common of holy men?

    Ben,

    Do pay attention, dear. He's speaking of the unreformed calendar.

    Canadash,

    Here's what I've got:

    Introit: Hi sunt qui venerunt de tribulatione magna
    Gradual: Anima nostra sicut passer erepta est
    Alleluia: Sicut abundant passiones Christi in nobis
    Offertory: Tamquam aurum in fornace
    Communion: Magnificabitur Christus in corpore meo

    I'm still looking for music for these.

    I'm not so sure she is, since she sent me an email today asking if I had english propers already written for the feast (I do not, by the way, sorry).

    Maybe canadash can clarify, since my OF liturgical calendar does show Cosmas & Damian for Thursday.

    Canadash,

    Try this:

    http://www.uni-regensburg.de/Fakultaeten/phil_Fak_I/Musikwissenschaft/cantus/microfilm/copenhagen/vol2/

    Go to page 101, and then page forward slowly until you find Hi sunt qui venerunt. I'm still working on the rest.


    Here's a link to the gradual

    Cheers,

    In Canada, unlike the rest of the world, this feast falls on Sept. 26, in the reformed calendar as well as the EF calendar.

    The propers, according to p. 617 of the Graduale Romanum, are:

    IN - Clamaverunt iusti (p, 450)
    GR - Anima nostra sicut passer (p. 453)
    AL - Confitemini... et invocate (p. 340)
    OF - Laetamini in Domino (p. 458)
    CO - Iustorum animae (p. 470)

    By the way, if by chance you are interested in doing Vespers for this feast, here is a booklet that I made up last year (Gregorian chant with facing English translations):

    Yes! In Canada it is the feast of the (!) Canadian Martyrs. Our calendars vary slightly here and there. We also have very few holy days of obligation compared to America and many other countries. Thanksgiving is different too! Thanks for your help. I was hoping for English, but I'll figure something out. If I sing the Latin, my priest will be very impressed.

    You can find the gabc files of individual chants at GregoBase.
